The Minnesota Republicans selected a 28 year old former marine and insurance man as their candidate for Congress while renominating Governor Theodore Christianson on a platform of economy. Melvin J. Maas led in the fourth district with close to a third of the votes as the party championed prohibition refinements. The Farmer Labor party backed Angus Johnson in the gubernatorial race with Tom Dargis running a tight second. Democrats ran unopposed in their primary. Keller trailed in third and Snyder held fourth amid debates on light wines and beer. Maas, a Minnesota and World War II era veteran, will face a crowded field in the general election.
